SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent: No. 238,406, dated March1, 1881.

To (ZH'ICIIOIH it may concern Be it known that I \VILLIAM A. Lavnm'v,acitizen of the United States, residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,have invented an liiiproyeiiien't in Xeekscai'ts. of which the followinga specification.

The object of my invention is to overcome the inconvenience and loss oftime caused by the usual method of marking titles on the neckbands ot'scarfs, and this object I attain in the manner lici'eiiiattcr set forth,reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, in whicb- Figure 1 isa front view upon the band of which the title is applied in accordancewith my invention Fig. 2, a veralso on an enlarged scale, be handcarrying the title. he usual method of nun-king the titles on the bandsof necksi-arfs is to form said title, by printing,directly upon the silkor satin face of the band, tlie-1hinting-block being engraved, so as toprint a background upon the band, leaviiv the silk or satin face of thelatter exposed 0 form the desired letters. This plan is open to severalobjections, the serious of which is the inconvenience and loss of timeoccasioned, the printing'beiug usiially the last step in the finishingof the band, and being an operation requiring considerable time, so thatmore or less delay is always caused in pi'ittingthc seai-fs upon themarket, owing to the time demanded in printing the titles on the handsafter the scarfs are other wise cotiipletely finished.

Another objection to this method is that the hands are liable to besoiled or otherwise iii jnred while the title isbcing printed, or by thehandling to which the'said hand is necessarily subjected.

and Fig. 3, a view,

I overcome these objections by printing the title on a stripot fabricseparate from the band, these printed strips being backed with rubberher suitable adhesive medium capable ot being softened by heat, and ofsuch an elastic character tliat it will withstand the Application filedNovember 11, 1580;

The title-strip can be removed from the band, the cement, so that whenit is desired tochange the title of a scarf it can be readily donewithout discarding the iieckbaiid or a portion thereof, as usual.

Another advantage of this iiiet-liodzof applying the-title to the bandis that the letters forming said title may be of a color di'fl'ercntfrom that of the band itself, so that striking and artistic contrastsare possible. This result is atta-ined by using fabric forthe titlestripdiffering in color from the fabric forming the face of the band.
